A Day to Savor

April 14, 2008

On Saturday, my husband and I went on a Savor Seattle Food Tour through Pike Place Market. Savor Seattle was started last year by Angela Shen who I met when she was just getting started. I held on to her information since the tour sounded really cool and recently got around to booking one.

Let me start by saying the tour was amazing! And it just happened to be the best weather day ever with temperatures getting into the 70s! I won’t go into full detail about the tour because you really have to experience it yourself but it runs about 2 hours and you get samples from 9 different locations throughout the market (sometimes multiple samples from the same place). Our tour guide Tim was funny and full of facts and history about the market (not to mention he knows all of the vendors and owners at the market). Everyone wears a small headphone so that you can hear Tim talk as we walk through the market. It made all of the difference to be able to hear him crystal clear in such a busy and loud space. 

Below are some pictures from the tour and the yummy samples – beverages, desserts, spices, cheese and dishes – plenty to keep me full until dinner. I’m looking forward to their future Belltown and International District Tours and would definitely go on the Pike Place tour again.
